  1. This is fucking hilarious on S. Korea Considers Using Armed Robots Along DMZ · · Score: 1

    I guess nobody noticed the ocean surrounding North and South Korea. The "fortified border" is utter bullshit when THE NORTH KOREANS CAN SWIM AROUND IT.

  2. Re:*NOTE TO MODERATORS* on Linus Drops BitKeeper · · Score: 0

    Do you want to take the meta-moderation hit for modding them down, then? Any negative mods with Redundant or Offtopic get voted unfair. No matter what.

  3. Re:Why not go to DST permanently? on Daylight Savings Change Proposed · · Score: 1
    But the very worst thing about DST is that it's bad for your health.


    That has less to do with DST and more to do with the act of setting your clock ahead the weekend before. If we were on DST year-round, there would be no difference.

    Neocons are children who don't want their toys taken away, and won't clean their room because it isn't fun.

    Please stop the mental masturbation, and finish your degree in bullshit before you start spouting off here.

    Who is this person? Why was this interview done? Does anybody know?

    How does this even remotely fit into the theme of Slashdot? News for nerds?

    I'm really at a loss here, I've never heard a thing about this person before in my life. The interview is pure shit -- it's uninteresting in the extreme.

    Editors -- we don't come to Slashdot to find out some nobody rap artist smokes up in between shows. This has to be an advert, and if so, you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves.

    When most people think of "child porn" they tend to think 12 or younger.

  9. Re:Group Policy on Firefox Continues to Bite into IE Usage · · Score: 1

    Group policy is for companies with 1,000+ PCs, where doing what you just suggested would take almost an entire month of person-hours per department.

  10. Re:True for a lot of open source software... on Firefox Continues to Bite into IE Usage · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Maybe all that is missing is a few decent tutorials on packaging and AD integration to get open source software into corporate IT-environments?


    Bingo. Time for Firefox developers to start integrating browser settings with AD, and making deployment easier.

    Who would want to use the more insecure browser in a corporation bent on security? You have no choice right now, though; firefox is nigh impossible to deploy effectively without going to every single client machine and configuring the settings manually.
  11. Re:Caveat on IE Vulnerable to Cross-Browser Spyware Attack · · Score: 1

    I really wish I had mod points. You deserve a few -1s for the goddamn cliche reference to the McDonalds lawsuit.

    It comes up in every single fucking thread remotely related to 'personal responsibility' and the person bringing it up always gets the facts wrong.

  12. Re:So if I launch a missle.... on DrinkOrDie Warez Trader to be Extradited to U.S. · · Score: 1

    "Disobeying is Disobeying" is, I believe, the reasoning in their heads. Crime, to them, no matter how small, is like disobeying your dad. Doesn't matter how much or how little (except when the punishment comes around), what dad says is what goes. Period. No backtalk.

    With regards to that suffering has been around for a long time. I fail to see what this has to do with anything. As why, simply because that's the way things used to be, should things continue to be the same way?


    You are a complete idiot. Please show me a viable way to change the entire ecosystem of the planet to a "happy non-killing" kind. Please. I dare you.

    My brother feeds two rats a week to his pet snake. Forget which kind, it's about three feet long and a few inches thick. Brownish, non-poisonous.

    Regardless, the rat is very probably harmed, as is the nature of this snake. It eats animals.

    You may be very sad to know that things have been suffering and dying on this planet for longer than our species has existed to lament it. You may also be sad to know that your ancestors killed plenty of animals to survive, and their progeny led to you.

    You may also, finally, be sad to know that you are a hypocrite.

  16. Re:Not to push this down... on New Distributed Project Seeks Gravity Waves · · Score: 1

    To further expand on the parent, maybe saving lives is a fruitless exercise as long as there's poor people crapping out kids they have no hope of feeding.

    Who cares? If there was damage, breed another monkey and try again.

    BSD was dying in '98, it's gotta be dead by now, right? =)

  19. Re:Certainty on Cloning License for Dolly's Doc · · Score: 1

    I'm really very tired with people acting like it's their great 'moral responsibilty' to prevent some type of fictional Frankenstein disaster in genetics by opposing everything groundbreaking on the grounds that we "don't know enough". Especially so when they have absolutely no knowledge of the subject matter, or even what's being proposed.

    I almost want to say this attitude is a social fear rooted in the broken promises and disasterous side-effects of nuclear research in the US. Things like Three Mile Island and Chernobyl spawned countless Sci-Fi 'what-if' stories that got people incredibly scared of advanced science in any field.

    There is probably also some kind of tie-in to the abortion debate, but I've never understood religion, so I won't get into it.

    Anyway, in closing, what happened in other sciences does not mean all science is doomed to fail and kill us. It's simply non-sequitur. I would like to further state that most people should limit their criticism to things they have a hope in hell of actually understanding.

    It's politically risky for private US firms to dabble in embryonic stem cell research and theraputic cloning. That's why they're abstaining, not because the results wouldn't be profitable.

    Can you enslave a machine? That's all cells are. They're not talking about growing real humans with brains for organ harvesting, they're cloning stem cells.

    "The "war" on drugs has been characterised as something that was winnable."


    I agree completely. Now if people would realize the "war on terrorism" is not, and that it's a war on muslim-extremists with a vague title allowing the "changing of the enemy" whenever more tax dollars are needed, we'd be off to a good start.
